We have witnessed too many murders in our fine city. When will they cease? What happened to the love for our fellow man?

John 3:16 says “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son and who shall ever believe in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.”

“We have a crises situation. God is not pleased. Have we done all that we can do? No, we have not. We still have time.”

If God did this for us, why can’t we extend love to all? Many of these mishaps take place during “church time” on Sundays. How ironic. Let’s think before we shoot. We need not get angry. We need to pray without ceasing. Praying does work.

I challenge the ministers/churches to conduct series of anti-killing crusades. Please, let them be continuing and by all means scriptural.

Parents, I reach out to you. Please: 1. Talk, love and pray in your homes. 2. Encourage your children as much as possible. 3. Make them feel good about themselves. 4. Require them to attend church. It would not be a bad idea to take them.

We have dropped the Bible and picked up guns. We hate rather than love. I just thought that I would attract the attention of the citizens of Shreveport. We have a crises situation. God is not pleased. Have we done all that we can do? No, we have not. We still have time.

Young men, if you are dead or in jail, who will marry the young ladies? Let’s put an end to this violence and show more concern, respect and love for each other. Finally, let’s develop a friendship like Jonathan and David.
